Ways to Entertain Your Kids During the Summer
Summer is quickly approaching and you know what that means? Two months full of fun in the sun and endless days by the pool with a nice, iced cold drink in your hand. HA! Yeah, right. Before you start dreading the 8 weeks of constant “I’m bored”, let me give you a couple of ideas […]
Emergency Preparedness
We live in the South and around this time of year, early spring, we start seeing more severe weather. When weather gets warmer, we enter into the dreaded tornado season. Being ready beforehand for these types of situations can help alleviate anxiety of not being fully prepared to take care of your family when the […]
Spring Break in Birmingham
With spring in full force, that means that Spring Break is here or on its way! My husband and I usually have to work, but we do like to do some fun things with our kids – maybe one or two days while they are off. So, it’s usually a “stay-cation” for us. We try […]
Make Spring Cleaning Fun for Kids
For my kiddos, cleaning and fun don’t really go together. Sometimes it feels like they would rather cut off their arm than clean. Anything that takes them away from their fun activities, cartoons, or playing outside is a HARD pass. Having 3 teenagers with chores of their own, adding to that list can be a […]

Are you getting enough sleep?
One of our priorities as parents is to make sure our children are getting enough sleep. Trying to keep a decent bed time for them each night nights is a MUST. As parents, we see the importance of sleep for our children. Why are we not trying to keep those “rules” for ourselves? We know […]
How to Meal Prep
If you are like me, you might have made a resolution for weight loss at the beginning of the year. We all like to start things fresh and call it a new beginning. I think it helps hold us more accountable than starting in the middle of a week or month. Sometimes, my family eat […]
Mom Guilt
Mom guilt is the worst. If you are a working mom like me, I’m sure you have felt this once or twice…or a million times. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard from my kids, “Well Bobby Sue’s mom gets to come and read to the class, or Jake’s mom gets to […]
